I must say that whoever got Lopes back with the Dodgers did a good job with that…yes, even if it was Ned Colletti. Lopes + Kemp was amazing last season. Can’t wait to see Lopes + Dee this season. Hopefully Gordon can get on base. The “they’re just gonna throw strikes to me” mentality is kind of worrisome though.
I would.
Throw strikes and let him ground out early in the count or get ahead and make him chase.
It’ll be the death of him if he actually does it.
If Davey Lopes works his usual magic, we could see Dee Gordon into the 80% range, which would be awesome.
